Will this speaker work with Yamaha RX-V673 7.2-Channel Network AV Receiver? Can the receiver be set to 6 ohms? Output wattage match with the receiver?

Glad to help, but you should first check your manual. I found the manual online for you and on page 105 and it tells you that you can change receiver from 6 ohms and 8 ohms. So the answer to your question is yes.

Hi - unfortunately there isn't one or I cannot find it - I would have taken a photo of the back of my Amplifier but just went on Yamaha uk site.http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amps/rx-v667__g/I hope this helpsTony

Not sure of the specification of your vintage receiver. But these speakers works with my 6 ohm output (sort of vintage as it is 15 years old now) 120 Watts per channel amplifier even if the impedance of these speakers is 8 ohms. In a nut shell if your vintage receiver is producing anywhere between 40 Watts to 120 watts , I THINK these speakers would please you. Worth a try but no guarantees.

There really isn't such a thing as a matching receiver for speakers, other than you must be sure you buy an 8 ohm receiver, since the speakers are 8 ohm.I have a few receivers and a few pure amplifiers running thru preamps.I did find one "receiver" that really drives these speakers well and sounds very good. It is an "Outlaw" receiver. They are sold direct from "Outlaw Audio". Amazon may have it.Every now and then "Outlaw" runs a promo on this receiver. Listen to the various receivers and check the reviews in the A/V mags. The beauty of these Klipsch speakers is they have a high DB rating which makes them easy to drive, even with lower power.

Hi. It is compatible with 8 ohms, that I'm sure. However, there aren't RCA connections to the speakers. All in all, it is indeed a relatively weak receiver, but I think it is very good for its price range.

I have not tried this but from the manual it describes utilizing both the A and B speaker sets. If this is similar to the stereo receivers of the 70s-80s, you would not want to use 4 ohm rated speakers as what normally happens is the speakers get paralleled and the resistance/impedance drops to 2 ohms and that the amp would never be able to handle without shutting down. If I remember, I will test this and comment further but everything I have read says this should work with 8 ohm rated speakers.

It is better to have speakers with wattage ratings higher than the receiver. 150 watt speakers will work fine with this receiver as long as they can handle 8ohms. Check the ohm ratings for the speakers, you did not say what kind of speakers you have so I can't answer that. Look on the rear of the speakers for the ohm rating.

I'm not an expert, but I went off of the 175W per channel rating when I bought this. The speakers I got were Polk Audio TSi 400's that are capable of taking 200W of power so I knew that the receiver couldn't overpower the speakers if I cranked it up.

Dear Kathy,This Yamaha receiver will be able to power 4ohm speakers but Yamaha does not list exact power to 4ohm speakers. You will need to tell the receiver during the setup procedure what type of speakers you are using.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

It should - the RXV573 has a subwoofer output. Pay attention to cabling - I can't remember off the top of my head what the receiver end of my setup looks like (std speaker cable posts vs. RCA like on the 573).

I have mine connected to 4 ohm Polk speakers and it works perfectly. You should not have any problems with 6 ohm speakers. The Motiva is a lot of power for a reasonable price.

I'm searching all over the net for an answer to the same question. Just got this receiver yesterday and it works great! I submitted an inquiry with Yamaha Customer Support. Doesn't look like it is supported but I'll post back here when I get a response from them.

The receiver can easily drive 4 ohm speakers. The RMS power rating of 80W applies to 8 ohm speakers, so the power output for 4 ohms will be somewhat greater.You can change the speaker impedance from the default setting of 8 ohms to 4 ohms using the "Advanced Setup" menu as described on page 37 of the owner's manual.

Yes it will work for 4 ohms speakerLess than 60 watts per channelUnit is very bad, pictures looks awsomeBut not real functionBetter to get vintage receiver for $50It will way better than thisGood luck

Impedance it selected at the Amp or Receiver, I don't see why not. I have all 8 Ohm speakers, so this is not an issue for me. You can't mix/match 8/6/4 Ohm. Hope this helps!

Hi,Am in the same boat. Other differences I see are receiver is 6ohm for 6200 vs. 8ohm for 5300 with speakers being 6 ohms...somewhere read that 6 ohm driving 8ohm is not that good..(I am not a techy)Any of you decided yet?Also does anyone like the sexy Energy 5.1 speaker set (will have to buy receiver separately)...any comparisons?

Any standard home audio receiver will work with these. As a general rule, more power is better, but these speakers are very efficient so they will play loud with any receiver from 50 watts up. I have mine on a 100 wpc Yamaha receiver in a 25 x 35' room, and it's more volume than we can stand.
